What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Seeing as yesterday’s post didn’t have the new progress in it that is all today’s post is. The very center of the Log Cabin quilt had pieces added but truthfully I didn’t work on it yesterday at all these blocks were done on Saturday. The plan right now is to finish the 5th row and […]

I worked more on the log cabin blocks yesterday, I was going to start piecing rows but I decided to work on row 5 instead. I noticed yesterday that two of my Thanksgiving Cactuses that bloomed at Thanksgiving have decided to bloom again! Not as loaded with buds as it was but there are quite […]

We are pretty much in the “rainy” season in Arkansas.  Usually our winters are quite wet – rain not snow and this past two weeks it has been just that.  I look forward to dryer days already even if they will be cold – the next week for us in the 60’s and wet. So […]

I don’t usually go shopping on Christmas Eve but Melanie had a few items she needed to get so I thought ok.  And you know it wasn’t as bad as I expected – I think half the people that I saw shopping last week had already finished and where out celebrating with some family – […]

I decided I had to occupy myself and stay out of the way while the repair techs were here to solve the problem of the heat pump not working and while they were here I got four blocks done (I think or was it three I would need to look back on photos to know […]

The girls and I with Honey supervising got a lot of cookies and coffee cake made on Saturday.  We had been so busy baking and the heat of the oven going that we never realized until evening that our heat pump had stopped working.  When the temperature all of a sudden started to go down […]

Between Log Cabin blocks and getting Christmas cookie dough made I was busy all day. Three of the Log Cabin rows of blocks are now done – five more rows to do I had to stand back far to get it all in and then still part of the quilting frame blocks the wall a […]

I was sitting at the sewing machine off and on yesterday afternoon.  And more blocks were done – I don’t know if most of you can guess what the pattern is now but you will by the next row (half way for sure) I’m really liking how the bright colors seem to shine in places. […]

Slightly more than a quarter actually I hope to add 2 more blocks today at least.  But I have a hair cut appointment this morning and then Melanie and I are going grocery shopping – she worked over time most of the weekend so it getting today off instead.  Jessica and her dog Honey arrive […]

Once I get going on these log cabin blocks they move faster and faster.  I need a light color block on each side of row 2 and then 2 full rows will be done.  Yesterday we had a little rainy weather so wasn’t pleasant to be outside so it was an inside day.  I cut […]

Yesterday I managed to get 3 more blocks made for the Log Cabin quilt – the first row is done – now to get the 2nd row done some more – I’ve been adding more strips to the baskets as I go adding in more colors and more neutrals so I have more variety.  Some […]

Other than a very few cold days we have mainly been in the 50’s with just a few under freezing nights.  Crazy when I know some of you have snow on the ground and have had for several weeks. Yesterday I got the initial appointment set for PT and will go in on Friday to […]

Working with an all light color log cabin block can be a bit tricky I think.  I had to cut more strips to get more variety for sure – you will start to see a pattern emerge in a couple weeks I’m sure  – I just hope it looks good in the end!  Two blocks […]

I worked more on my Log Cabin quilt and decided to make a different pattern then I had planned to.  The first one that I was going to do I decided was going to be too big to get the whole design in so I am going with a second choice which I think I […]
